Payment Method Paypal
Hi, I would like to upgrade to Flag Counter Pro and pay via PayPal, but I can't find that option button. (The two offered options of the Google-account and Amazon.com don't work for me.) Please tell me how I can pay via Paypal as it is mentioned a lot on this site as a payment method. Thanks!

Re: Payment Method Paypal
We are not accepting new subscriptions thru Paypal at this time.
All Paypal subscriptions require a valid credit card on file, which is all that you will need to establish a subscription using our Google Checkout or Amazon payment option.

Re: Payment Method Paypal
Well, that's really sad. I already have a PayPal account for which I don't need a credit card. Besides, I don't believe in giving all my information to Google -- they know enough about me already! And as I am not in the U.S., Amazon.com won't receive payment info from me. So, I guess I need to do with the simple version of Flag Counter until you disconnect from Google again.

Re: Payment Method Paypal
A credit card would be required to be on file to initiate a Paypal subscription if we were currently accepting them.
You should not have a problem with either the Google or Amazon payment options, both accept international payments.

Hi Jeremy, the credit card is not the issue. But Google is not an option for me because it is a "data kraken." And amazon.com refuses service to me because as a German living in Germany I have to use the service of amazon.de. That's their policy, not mine.

Re: Payment Method Paypal
Paypal don't require a valid credit card, they will accept debit cards. Google Checkout does require a valid credit card, they won't accept debit cards. The last time I looked anyway.That's why Paypal is better if you don't have a credit card.

You is right. PayPal is much easy for lot of countries where a problem open $$ credit card. I can open national currency credit card (free) and use $$ PayPal without any problem ever just for one transcation .
If I will open $$ credit card I must pay 20$ for one year service in local bank. It is crazy do for one time payment .
Jeremy , you lost your subscribers if you will not accept PayPal.

Re: Payment Method Paypal
@Russians. This is true. I was going to upgrade to Pro recently, until I saw that Paypal wasn't accepted here. I don't see why I should need to have a credit card account "on file" with FC and Google to make a one-off payment.

You used to accept Paypal. Any explanation why you don't any more ? Frankenstorm Sandy ? And you talk nonsense in your last post.
